Final report of the Hearing Officer in Case COMP/M.4919 — StatoilHydro/ConocoPhillips (1)

2009/C 201/05
On 14 March 2008, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (‘Merger Regulation’) by which the undertaking StatoilHydro ASA, Norway, acquires the retail petroleum business of ConocoPhillips in Scandinavia.
After examination of the notification the Commission concluded on 13 May 2008 that the notified operation fell within the scope of the Merger Regulation and that it raised serious doubts as to its compatibility with the common market and the Agreement on the European Economic Area (‘EEA Agreement’). The Commission therefore initiated proceedings in accordance with Article 6(1)(c) of the Merger Regulation.
StatoilHydro ASA was given access to the key documents in the file, in accordance with the Best Practices rules, in the form of a selection of non-confidential versions of third parties’ replies to the phase-one requests for information; these were provided to the notifying parties on 22 May 2008.
On 20 June 2008, the Commission sent an Article 11(3) decision to both StatoilHydro ASA and ConocoPhillips suspending the time limits because the parties failed to supply complete information regarding data of their retail stations in Denmark, Norway and Sweden over 2004-2008. This suspension ended on 18 July 2008.
On 27 June 2008 StatoilHydro ASA offered commitments with a view to rendering the concentration compatible with the common market. StatoilHydro ASA submitted an improved remedy proposal on 25 July 2008 which was ‘market tested’ by the Commission. On 1 September 2008, StatoilHydro ASA submitted a second improved remedy proposal which had been amended to address certain shortcomings of the previous proposal identified during the market test.
The Commission has concluded that the commitments submitted by StatoilHydro ASA are sufficient to remove the serious doubts raised by the concentration. Accordingly, subject to the full compliance with the commitments submitted by the notifying party, the Commission has decided not to oppose the notified operation and to declare it compatible with the common market and with the EEA Agreement.
No queries or submissions have been made to me by the parties or any third party. The case does not call for any particular comments as regards the right to be heard.

Brussels, 6 October 2008.
